Serenoa Serrulata (Saw Palmetto) Fruit Extract

Serenoa Serrulata Fruit Extract is derived from the dark purple berries of the saw palmetto palm native to the southeastern United States. This oil-soluble extract is rich in fatty acids (particularly lauric, oleic, and myristic acids) and phytosterols, making it particularly valued in hair care formulations for its ability to inhibit 5-alpha-reductase enzyme activity, which may help address hair thinning concerns. Formulators also choose it for its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to help regulate sebum production in both scalp and facial skin applications.
